World reacts to U.S. bombing Iranian nuclear facilities
UNITED STATES, JUN 23 – U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites sparked partisan divisions in Congress and protests, with 64% of voters viewing Iran's nuclear program as a substantial threat, a poll found.
- On June 22, 2025, the U.S. launched airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, marking a major military operation.
- The strikes followed escalating tensions after Iran's proxy Hamas attacked Israel in 2023 and Iran refused nuclear negotiations, leading the U.S. to act unilaterally without Congressional approval.
- The Pentagon named the mission Operation Midnight Hammer, during which B-2 bombers deployed a combination of heavy bunker-busting ordnance and numerous precision-guided weapons, successfully targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities and damaging critical infrastructure.
- Public opinion was divided: 64% viewed Iran's nuclear program as a substantial threat, 55% supported the strikes after learning targets, but only 31% favored bombing; Republicans showed strong support while Democrats largely opposed.
- The airstrikes set back Iran's nuclear efforts by months according to intelligence, but critics warned the attack may provoke more hostility and cause geopolitical instability, reflecting ongoing uncertainty about long-term outcomes.

Bombing Iran bold, decisive and necessary
Kudos to President Trump, for taking the recent bold, but responsible action, to hopefully prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons. Iran is widely acknowledged to be one of the most active terrorist-exporting regimes in the world. The Iranians provided support for the April 18, 1983, bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut that killed 63 people, including 17 Americans. In October of that same year 241 U.S. Marines were killed in a bombing of t…
